That depends on how patient you are with the AH. I've read of people burning hundreds of millions in gold only to continue dying in act3 quite a bit. I agree with what Winkle said for the most part, but don't forget to figure out what build you're going to be farming with and the stat priority you will want in each slot. ie. WW builds get way more out of LOH and AR than Revenge builds where raw vit and % life are more valuable (to a point).
You can 'farm' act 3 with gear worth 1M or less (hit Zrave's or Kripp's examples on youtube). With 60M it should run rather smoothly, just take some time and compare the results over a couple of days and don't but everything in the next 5 minutes
But before buying everything you might want to try it out with a friend's barb first. Maybe barb isn't your thing after all and reselling can net terrible results.
i comprehend,
atm i find the barb quite efficient to farm, and with WOTB boosts damage enough to deal with elites rather easily
while my monk still needs much more gear to farm that way cause of my unreliable heals and dependance on pieces of gear with both " x res and + all res" what makes them much more expensive
If you pay attention to the stats on gear and take a holistic view of your purchases you can easily get geared for A3 for a quarter of that amount. Case in point I put up 143 str/64 ARes/5%crit bracers I found for 30k on the AH...and it went unsold. I immediately reposted it at 1.5mil and it sold within a few hours. Ppl that complain about costs are right that obscenely good gear will cost you an arm and a leg, but you can get gear that'll let you easily clear A3 at very low prices. Just gotta be smart and know how to recognize deals.
Do you think i can farm act3 with that ammount of gold?
Probably not, since everyone has been rerolling barb gear has been skyrocketing in price. Sure you can get rare buys like the guy in the above post, but you almost always have to bid to get it, which usually means a bid war. (PS those bracers aren't A3 quality imo, maybe if the rest of your gear is amazing..)

...(PS those bracers aren't A3 quality imo, maybe if the rest of your gear is amazing..)
Sure they are! Not too long ago I was farming A3 with less (WW build...hey it works). Figure the cap for STR on bracers is 200, the AR cap is 80, and the crit cap is 6%, those stats are all near the top end. Is it missing say vitality or melee reduction? Yep - they definitely aren't perfect. But the stats that it does have are close enough to those caps that any of its shortcomings are *easily* remedied elsewhere in your gear setup.
That's part of the premise behind Kripp/Zrave making those gold challenge videos; it doesn't take spending scads of gold to get the BiS for every slot to farm A3, its getting imperfect items for considerably less cash to get enough of the stats you need. The lack of vitality and armor on those bracers is easily compensated for on chest and pants. Those will end up lacking strength but thats what your shoulders and belt are for. Is it a "perfect" setup? Nope. But it'll work..and its cheaper than a "perfect" setup.
My gear was about 5mil worth when i cleared Inferno and I'm a terrible AH buyer. Now I have a 20mil set which comfortably farms act 3... lesson here is be careful with your money. You might want to buy a cheap base set for act 1 farming first (say 300-500k worth. believe me it's more than possible if you have a good idea what you're looking for) then slowly buy the best deals you can find for the money.

Good luck.

He has a couple "pimp my barb" vids in there at the 45m amount. They might give you some good ideas.
